San Francisco, CA immigration attorney Mary Jane Weaver discusses how a change in location or nature of an employment can impact both your temporary work visa status and the processing of your permanent residency status. She explains that changes in your location and employment nature can have a significant impact on your temporary work visa and permanent residency process. This is something we closely assist our corporate clients and foreign nationals with, ensuring that we identify and evaluate these changes upfront. It’s an interesting challenge, particularly with the COVID-19 situation, as people are no longer confined to working in the same place or at the same employment site as before. However, the immigration system is antiquated and heavily tied to specific locations. Therefore, any change in your location or job nature requires notification to the immigration authorities or Department of Labor. The process is highly dependent on your unique job characteristics, employer, and job location. When these aspects change, it may necessitate a reevaluation and potential redoing of the processes we have already undertaken for you.
